Ollie's Pizza Delivers Hot Eats to Help You Beat the Heat

Nobody wants to cook in this heat, but everyone wants a hot meal. Visit Ollie's Pizza in McMurray to beat the heat and get something good to eat.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Seriously. Get out of the kitchen!

This week’s Great Escape takes us to in McMurray, where you’ll find quick, affordable and tasty meal options that can help you beat the heat and stay out of the kitchen while satisfying your cravings for a hot meal.

With temperatures in the 90s, words like “oven” and “stove” are very unpopular in most homes. Many people are settling for cold sandwiches or salads, or zapping things in the microwave, rather than turning on their ovens to overheat their homes and themselves.

But, it is possible to leave your oven off and still enjoy a hot meal. You just need to have someone else take care of the dirty work for you! Let someone else do the cooking and baking while you sit back and relax.

Located in Waterdam Plaza, Ollie’s Pizza has been a Peters Township favorite for 13 years. With dine-in, take-out and delivery options available, your dining location is entirely up to you. Stop in for lunch. Pick up some snacks and hit the park. Or, order in for a movie night at home.

Wherever you decide to enjoy your Ollie's eats, you’re in for a treat. The menu is extensive, featuring familiar favorites such as pizzas, calzones, wedgies, hoagies and wings. Also offered are burgers and side order and basket items, including French fries, onion rings, mac & cheese wedges and fried cheese sticks. Salads, pitas and gyros round out the menu.

Ollie’s Pizza's prices are affordable and the service is fast. It gets pretty busy during lunch time, so you may want to call your order in, in advance.

So, before you sit down to another cold ham and cheese sandwich or bowl of cereal for dinner, consider going to Ollie’s for some oven-baked goodness. Order a meat lovers pizza, Philly steak pizza or any one of the other specialty pizzas. Choose from a long list of toppings to create your own pizza with red or white sauce, or try something different and order a Sicilian (square-cut) pizza.

If you’re not in the mood for pizza, or if you’d like to add on to your family’s meal, Ollie’s meatball calzone or buffalo chicken hoagie may make your mouth water. You can’t go wrong with a gyro and side of fries. Try some wings, drenched in one of Ollie’s various flavored sauces.

Watching your figure? Ollie’s has small and large salads for your noshing needs. You can even dress it with fat-free or light dressing if you please.

Let Ollie’s be your Great Escape from the heat, from the stress of cooking… and, from the kitchen!
